Video: Mercedes-Benz McLaren SLR Stirling Moss

Mercedes-Benz McLaren SLR Stirling Moss


The stunning Mercedes-Benz McLaren SLR Stirling Moss is the final iteration of the SLR supercar first launched in 2003 and inspired by the Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR of 1955.


Named after legendary race car driver Stirling Moss who famously piloted a Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR with the starting number 722 (indicating a start time of 7:22am) to victory at the Mille Miglia in 1955, the SLR Stirling Moss features a 478 kW (650 hp) supercharged V8 engine which can accelerate from standstill to 100 km/h in less than 3.5 seconds. Even without a roof, side windows nor windscreen, the SLR Stirling Moss can still reach a top speed of 350 km/h.

Limited to just 75 units, the SLR Stirling Moss will only be sold to current owners of a SLR.

Mercedes-Benz McLaren SLR Stirling Moss

Mercedes-Benz McLaren SLR Stirling Moss


In a fitting tribute to the Mercedes-Benz McLaren SLR, the final iteration of the supercar has been named after legendary race car driver Stirling Moss and features neither a roof nor a windscreen to separate the driver and passenger from the outside world.

The exclusive SLR Stirling Moss is limited to just 75 units at 750,000 euros a pop but should have no problems selling like hotcakes in spite of the current financial crisis. Production of the SLR Stirling Moss will commence in June 2009 shortly after production of the SLR Roadster ceases.

The new SLR Stirling Moss unites the character of the current SLR models with the fascination of the legendary SLR of 1955 and features a 478 kW (650 hp) supercharged V8 engine which can accelerate from standstill to 100 km/h in less than 3.5 seconds. Even without a roof, side windows nor windscreen, the SLR Stirling Moss can still reach a top speed of 350 km/h!

The entire bodywork of the SLR Stirling Moss is made of lightweight carbon fibre and sports an exciting, pronounced arrow-shaped form and is characterised by an elongated bonnet and a compact, muscular rear. The exterior and interior flow smoothly into one in lieu of a windscreen while the bonnet stretches from its tip right down into the interior, giving the vehicle body a distinctly sleek stance.

All SLR Stirling Moss' will bear a chassis number from 1 to 75 and only loyal SLR customers are able to acquire a Stirling Moss.

The lads over at aftermarket tuners Hamann have an insatiable appetite for kilowatts - not that there's a problem with that - and it seems not even a McLaren Mercedes-Benz SLR supercar with 467 kW can quench their thirst for insane power figures

In standard form, the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG is already a most impressive piece of kit. Endowed with a fire-breathing 6.2-litre V8 that develops a massive 336 kW and 600 Nm of torque, the entry-level AMG tweaked Mercedes has enough power and pace to embarrass many of today's supercars
